The style of this table is great and it is fairly easy for one person to assemble (though better with 2). However, this "wood" (actually compressed particle board with a thin wood-like printed surface) table is not made very well and damages very easily if not shipped with white gloves on. Unfortunately, now I have 2 of these and both have more than one damaged or chipped corner right out of the box. On the plus side, getting the first one replaced was extremely fast and easy, however I will not be seeking another replacement for this item simply due to poor quality experienced with the 1st 2.
